What is the worst that can happen to a landlord if they get taken to court?

I think worst case is that they pay the money they owe you anyway, correct?

I doubt they are likely to have to pay any kind of extra fine.

In other words: they probably do not care (aside from the waste of time of attending court).

I doubt it would somehow get the tax man’s attention (in case they are not paying tax or doing other illegal things).
